Staying at Malmaison Oxford felt like doing time… The room was spacious, spotless, the bed was actually comfortable (shocking for a former prison), turning on the lights gives you that prison sound and the location is dangerously convenient for wandering Oxford. Add in the juicy history of the building and suddenly your overnight stay comes with a side of true crime vibes. Clean, central, and delightfully dramatic — 10/10 would get “locked up” again.

Unusual but well executed prison conversion. I hope this is the closest I get to staying in a cell overnight! The room we stayed in was spacious … actually 3 cells knocked together. Reception staff were excellent. Hotel location was very convenient… short walk to city centre.
